Yes, I first wrote about some of the many commercial repellants I've either bought or concocted to deal with deer way back in 2013, the year before I had a 7' fence installed. Liquid Fence, Milorganite, ( you name it, I've tried it. ) ALL the concoctions using Irish Spring Soap, Tabasco, Urine sprays, ugh! They all work for a time, until the deer get really hungry or used to whatever repellant you're using that week. Deer must change their grazing patterns, or eventually you'll learn just how destructive deer can be and how quickly they can completely decimate even a large garden. How I've wished that all the money I'd spent on expensive sprays over several years had been spent on paying for a fence sooner rather than later. Several club members have rather inexpensively used an electric fence composed of two wires of different heights placed around their gardens which they and their husbands installed themselves. It wasn't very expensive, and it ended their deer problems in the areas fenced. I ended up with a black heavy duty coated metal fence, had originally thought green fencing would blend better, but the fencing guy showed me that black would fade into the background better. You can tell it's
there in bloom season, but it's far less distracting than half eaten blooms.
